<p>The subscribers from the United States and Canada made up 1.17 million in the newly added 5.9 million pie of subscribers of the leading streaming platform.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Netflix's password sharing crackdown</strong></h2>

<p>The platform rolled out its password-sharing crackdown in the United States in late May. Each extra Netflix user out of a household started costing $7.99 per month. The password-sharing ban has been put into place by the streaming platform in India starting July 2023.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How Netflix increased its subscriber base</strong></h2>

<p>Netflix's Chief Financial Officer Spencer Neumann highlighted that the majority of the company's revenue growth in the current year is expected to come from the new paid memberships, which can be largely attributed to the password-sharing crackdown rollout.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Netflix revenue and cash flow</strong></h2>

<p>Netflix generated $8.2 billion in revenue during the quarter. For 2023, the company now anticipates having at least $5 billion in free cash flow&nbsp;as opposed to the previous estimate of $3.5 billion.</p>

<p>The increased amount is attributed to "lower cash content spend in 2023 than originally anticipated" due to the ongoing Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes, which has caused disruptions in content production for popular shows like <em>Stranger Things</em>, <em>Big Mouth</em> and <em>Emily in Paris</em>.</p>
